India vs Bangladesh: The Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association has decided to take proactive measures regarding the continuous monkey menace. which has become an irritant at the Green Park Stadium in Kanpur as it prepares to host the second Test match between India and Bangladesh. During matches here the primates snatched food and personal belongings including mobile phones, from spectators. The authorities at the stadium came up with an innovative solution to counter this problem employ the Langurs – a species of long-tailed leaf monkey – accompanied by their attendants to ward off the nuisance monkeys.

Monkeys have become notorious for their antics during cricket matches, targeting food and drinks-a plague specially in the stands where fans sit to watch. Capitol Video added that the most vulnerable of these thefts take place from the broadcast cameras stationed in the stands thus it is warranted to have the best solution. Probably the Langurs will keep intruding rhesus into a state of fear and make the aggressive ones less active to keep loitering around the stadium and that will help the people watch the game without fear of losing money or belongings.
The other thing was regarding the safety and comfort point of view of the spectators in the stadium as per the UPCA. This was realized based on recent observations whereby it has been realized that some areas in the stadium were not safe for accommodation. The C block was never found to be fit for spectators, hence it had to close before the match. As a reply, Kapoor said that the Public Works Department and Harcourt Butler Technical University had done a comprehensive inspection and found that the safety risks seemed to prevail from some of the seats in the C block. As a consequence close to 1,750 of the seats in the upper block are vacant.
Additionally to minimize the possibility of monkey-related incidents the authorities secured the stands that housed the broadcast cameras and equipment. These were covered with black cloth to oblige visibility as it would deter the monkeys from being attracted to food. This preventive measure shows the UPCA intent to make the experience of the fans and media people as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

Every care was taken to have well-prepared stadiums and all necessary arrangements would be in place for a successful event. The eagerness in the air to play an international game of cricket has been both the enthusiastic players and eager fans and this association wishes to give an atmosphere that presents enjoyment for the game.

Langurs Hired To Scare Away Food-Grabbing Monkeys
In the Green Park Stadium this is not even peculiar to those sitting in the spectators stands because the monkey nuisance has now become a concern for the cameramen and broadcasting personnel stationed in the high stands. This is because these stands are common points of attack for the monkeys as they would invade the stands to try to steal food or drinks from the unsuspecting broadcasting crew.
Venue Director Sanjay Kapoor said that while the broadcast camera operators are more vulnerable, there certainly needs to be a solution To avoid the terror of monkeys, we have langurs to take care of them said he pointing out the peculiar approach they were adopting to tackle this menace that strikes at regular intervals.

This is not a new practice of hiring langurs along with their handlers: other cricket boards have made use of these smart monkeys in preventing invasions by them at stadiums. By adopting this natural repellent the Green Park Stadium would create a safer scenario for the crew as well as the fans allowing everyone to enjoy the watching of the match without the burden of mischief from the monkeys.
